Chapter 173 The Method of Breathing
About seven or eight minutes later, Lang Qing's voice sounded beside a fire in the middle of the camp.

Seven or eight people, including Ban Chao, Guo Xun, and Gan Ying, listened carefully; when they heard the important point, the expressions on their faces became brighter.

The main reason is that the envoys this time took a light vehicle and a simple way of traveling, and the tents they carried were also small single-person tents, which simply couldn't accommodate so many people to get in at the same time.

So Hu Biao had no choice but to put the location of the report next to a fire in the middle of the camp.

After all the staff arrived, Lang Qing first started talking with a small notebook.

It can be regarded as reporting to the two highest-ranking messengers in this team, the various statistics they have collected after this battle:
"Ban Sima and Guo Zong, we killed 367 enemies and captured 17 in this battle.

No one on our side was killed in battle, but 28 people were injured. Fortunately, only 3 of them were slightly injured. After using the wound medicine, they should be able to fully recover within ten days at most.

About 46 taels of gold were seized (one tael in Han Dynasty should be 15.625 grams), the copper coins were not counted, and they looked like eleven or twelve guan, and three bolts of silk cloth.

In addition, there are 1 pair of iron armor, 31 pairs of leather armor, and 53 horses.

A large number of other knives, guns, bows and arrows, etc., are basically poorly made, and many of them are made of bronze; in short, how to deal with the above spoils, please tell me. "

It was Lang Qing's voice that fell, and Guo Xun, who had a noncommittal look on his face, immediately regained his spirits, and hurriedly said:

"The gold, copper coins, and silk cloth will all be kept by someone; don't worry, once they are captured, I will report to Captain Dou, and there will be rewards at that time.

As for those horses, weapons, and armor, you can handle them yourself. "

When he heard this statement, Hu Biao couldn't help but exchanged a glance with Lang Qing, and there was only one meaning in his eyes:
"What the hell, careless! I didn't expect Guo Xun to be a money-seeking guy; gold is fine, but even copper coins and silk cloth are not spared. I'm really too greedy.

This batch of seizures had been secretly handed over to Ban Chao a long time ago, or they had been concealed directly. "

In other words, this is the first time that Hu Biao and the others have been taken away in such a way in terms of spoils; for a while, they were very depressed.

It's not for such a little more than a catty of gold, the main thing is that I get angry when I think about it.

The problem is that things have already happened, if Guo Xun doesn't give it away, he doesn't know what will happen afterwards.

In desperation, the two could only agree:

"No, I'll send it to Guo Zong later."

In the following time, Hu Biao also opened his mouth to tell the story, reporting the bad news he got from the prisoners to Ban Chao and Guo Xun.

Finally, in his mouth, he asked for instructions like a wolf green:
"How to deal with it next, should we continue to follow the long road, or take a detour from other places, please ask Ban Sima and Guo Zheng for advice?"

Almost the same thinking as Yang Dongli, after hearing the news that there are many horse bandits and sand bandits on the road ahead, waiting for them to send them forward.

Ban Chao and Guo Xun didn't even think about killing them so forcefully all the way.

First, he asked Hu Biao a key question: "How long will the water in the army last?"

There is no need for Hu Biao to open his mouth on this point, and the relevant answer comes to Lang Qing just by opening his mouth: "I told Guo Zong and Ban Sima that the water carried in the army can barely last for about 4 days."

After Ban Chao heard the words, he stroked his beard and said nothing.

Instead, Gan Ying was asked to go out, and after calling Ma San, the old pawn as a guide, he opened his mouth and asked:
"From here to Shanshan, there are other roads. Is there any water supply on the road, and how long will it take to get there?"

Under such a series of questions, Ma San thought for a while before answering.

"In the early years, the villain accidentally heard from a certain caravan guy that after a big circle to the west of this place, there is another small road that can also reach Shanshan.

Among them, about four or five days away from here, in a canyon on the edge of the desert, there is a spring that can replenish water.

It's just that if you take this road, it will take five or six days longer than before.

In addition, almost 20 years have passed since I heard this news, and the villain is also true. I don’t know if the spring has dried up? "

After saying this, everyone fell silent; waiting for Guo Xun and Ban Chao to come up with a final decision, after all, there is still a huge danger of not finding water if they choose to take a detour.

As for Ban Chao and Guo Xun, after discussing in low voices for a while.

In the end, the choice that was made was similar to what Hu Biao and others had discussed before: a detour.

The main reason is that if you take a detour, you can avoid opponents who have been prepared along the way, save a little water, and you can still stick to that spring.

Even such a choice would add five or six days to the journey.

But spending five or six more days is completely within the permission of Hu Biao and others in the first stage of the task; and for Ban Chao and others who have more time in terms of time, naturally there are no other problems.

The only problem was the danger that the well might dry up.

It's just that in this world, there is no such thing as perfect. Compared with the benefits that detours can bring, such an adventure is worth it.

So, in the following time, Ban Chao and Guo Xun discussed in low voices for a while.

His mouth was facing the other people in the room, and he began to explain: "You have a good rest tonight, and I will take a detour to Shanshan Kingdom early tomorrow morning.

As for the captured war horses and weapons, pick up some good ones and take them with you, and bury the others on the spot, so as to prevent those sand thieves and horse bandits from picking them up and doing evil again. "

"Here~" Hu Biao, Lang Qing, Gan Ying and other personnel all responded loudly...

*******
Said to go to bed early, but Hu Biao still has something to do.

He followed Ban Chao all the way to the tent, and when Ban Chao was about to enter the tent, he lowered his voice and asked Ban Chao's back:
"Ban Sima, the villain has something unclear in his heart, dare to ask Sima for advice?"

"I don't know what's going on with Team Hu, but it's okay to ask."

After hearing Hu Biao's rather disturbed question, Ban Chao immediately said so, and he really seemed to be easy to talk about.

Seeing this, Hu Biao also asked directly:

"I saw that Sima suddenly exploded with supernatural power during the big battle just now, defeating those horse bandits. I don't know if he used some kind of legendary magic technique?"

Under such a question from Hu Biao, Ban Chao laughed out loud.

After a long while, he stopped laughing, and began to explain: "There is no such thing as a legendary exercise, and it is not as magical as you imagined; it is just a strange person that Ban met in the early years. , learned a method of breathing.

After years of practice, you can also strengthen your body; when you use it when you are about to explode, you can also gain a little more strength in a short time. "

Hearing this, Hu Biao's eyes lit up.

It's a pity that soon after, as if being drenched in a bucket of cold water, I heard bad news.

Ban Chao looked at Hu Biao's excited appearance, and without waiting for Sipujie to ask for learning, he added a sentence: "It's just that Ban promised that strange person that day, this law cannot be easily granted to the outside world, I'm afraid it will Hu team rate disappointed."

Fortunately, after hearing this, although Hu Biao was a little disappointed, he did not reach the point of despair.

Because he knows this thing, it's like playing a game, and gaining goodwill with the task NPC; now they don't have enough goodwill with Ban Chao, so naturally there is no way to learn it.

When the follow-up favorability increases, I can still learn that breathing method successfully...
